A Pony at the Window

You are a lucky little girl when you have a pony that can visit you at your living room window. And you are a lucky pony when you have two little girls who like to feed you carrots. Finally, a goat is a sad goat who is tied up because he likes to escape and eat all of the flowers in the neighborhood, and can't come to the window to eat carrots and visit.

Lemon Cake is Good

It is always a good birthday when you are with family.

Sadie needs a haircut...or a barrette.

New videos...

This comes from a book called "Barney Says."

One week and four papers to go...

...in my special education class. I finished one paper tonight, so that leaves four more. Must keep going...

Such a good dog. Check out the boots, Sadie loves any boots. Snow boots, tall boots, sheepskin boots, Sierra's boots... she always has to be wearing boots, or at least shoes. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Happy Birthday Lucy!

Happy Birthday Cousin Lucy! We can't wait to see you again!

Compassion

We sponsor two children through Compassion International. It is a great experience for our whole family. Here is a blog written by a pastor in Kenya right now for Compassion. www.thisisreverb.com

The pictures are amazing! Enjoy!

I've been so busy lately I haven't been able to post, and I have some cute videos I would like to put up one of these days. However today, I would like to post my sadness about the earthquake in Haiti. As an American, I am so thankful for all the blessings I enjoy, but I still think I take it for granted. I am so saddened by the thoughts of all of those people, the ones that made it and the ones that didn't. I don't feel like I can do enough, and it almost makes me feel guilty to have a fridge and pantry full of food, and running water, not to mention all the luxuries I enjoy. My pets have a better life than so many people in this world.

I got an email today from www.compassion.com which is a great organization, soliciting help. They care for orphans, including orphans in Haiti. Another place you can give is www.adra.com and I am sure a slew of others, like the Salvation Army. If you can't give money, you can pray for those in need, which is just as important and needed.
